What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

The very scarce first UK edition, first impression. First published earlier the same year in the US by Doubleday, and serially in 'The Argosy'.

The work of Canadian novelist Frank Lucius Packard, remembered for his mystery novels, and for railroad stories based upon his own work as a civil engineer for the Canadian Pacific Railway.

A thrilling and wildly entertaining crime novel about tapped wires, coded messages, and a 'girl bandit'.

Condition

In the publisher's original cloth binding, with a touch of shelf wear to back strip tail. Externally, excellent, with a touch of fading to back strip. Internally, firmly bound. Pages clean and bright, with only the odd light spot.
